* feat(whatsapp): add debounceMs for batching rapid messages
Add a `debounceMs` configuration option to WhatsApp channel settings
that batches rapid consecutive messages from the same sender into a
single response. This prevents triggering separate agent runs for
each message when a user sends multiple short messages in quick
succession (e.g., "Hey!", "how are you?", "I was wondering...").
Changes:
- Add `debounceMs` config to WhatsAppConfig and WhatsAppAccountConfig
- Implement message buffering in `monitorWebInbox` with:
- Map-based buffer keyed by sender (DM) or chat ID (groups)
- Debounce timer that resets on each new message
- Message combination with newline separator
- Single message optimization (no modification if only one message)
- Wire `debounceMs` through account resolution and monitor tuning
- Add UI hints and schema documentation
Usage example:
{
"channels": {
"whatsapp": {
"debounceMs": 5000 // 5 second window
}
}
}
Default behavior: `debounceMs: 0` (disabled by default)
Verified: All existing tests pass (3204 tests), TypeScript compilation
succeeds with no errors.
Implemented with assistance from AI coding tools.
Closes#967
